==Regular season==
 
The Twins were 85-77, first in the [[American League West]], two games ahead of the Kansas City Royals. The team had one of the lowest winning percentages ever for a World Series champion, at .525. They also had the remarkably bad road record of 29-52 (.358 percentage) but made up for it winning 56 home games (best in MLB). Fortunately for the Twins, they played in a very weak division; only two teams finished above .500 and only 10 games separated the Twins from the last-place [[1987 California Angels season|California Angels]] (the previous year's division champion) and [[1987 Texas Rangers season|Texas Rangers]]. The Twins' 85-77 was the lowest for a World Series champion for nearly two decades, until the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series with an 83-7978 record.
 
1987 was the first year the Twins started using their modernized logos and uniforms, which are still in use today.
